Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

1 Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2 Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.

3 Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah

3 Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:

4 “I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

4 “Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”

5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

5 Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”

6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah

6 Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”

7 Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”

7 Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”
